Missouri Eatery Crowned 'Best Fine Dining Restaurant' In The State

Every once in a while, you may want to treat yourself to a nice meal at a fine dining restaurant, whether you want to celebrate a special occasion or a job promotion, mark an anniversary or special date night, or simple enjoy a delicious meal from world-class chefs. Missouri is home to countless restaurants perfect for the occasion, but one was recently recognized as the best in the state.

According to a list compiled by 24/7 Tempo, the best fine dining restaurant in Missouri is Pierpont's at Union Station, a Kansas City establishment with a focus on American cuisine. Pierpont's at Union Station is located at 30 W. Pershing Road.

Here's what the site had to say about the best fine dining restaurant in Missouri:

"In this historic 1914-vintage train depot, seafood towers and appetizers like Buffalo cauliflower and hand-cut steak tartare lead into main courses like pan-seared Baja sea bass with forbidden rice, roasted pheasant with tomato-chickpea stew, and coffee- and ancho-chile- rubbed Kansas City strip — and don't forget the white chocolate bread pudding with maple-infused cream cheese."

To determine its list, 24/7 Tempo looked at reviews and ratings on local, regional and state sites and "[extrapolated] a shortlist of establishments that fit the fine-dining bill." The list includes eateries that run the culinary gamut from sushi bars and French restaurants to steakhouses and establishments with fixed-price menus.
